LA: BR man arrested for allegedly stealing identity of local officers and deputies

Posted on March 23, 2009 by Dissent

Jim Shannon of WAFB reports on an ID theft case with a bit of a twist: Alton Davis was arrested for the identity theft of 31 current and retired Baton Rouge police officers, going back to 2005. But the scope of the problem is still unknown and may affect other municipal workers.

Nothing in the news story or U.S. Attorney’s press release indicates how Davis allegedly obtained the police officers’ information.
